MORE SPINACH BENEFITS

Is spinach a part of your diet? You will find more than one post on here extolling the benefits of spinach. Here are some reminders or perhaps new information about the benefits of the leafy green. Whether you put spinach in your smoothies, salads, casseroles, or just sauté it as a vegetable for meals, you should include it in your diet regularly. For diabetics, like me, spinach helps the body break down stored glucose. This is attributed to its richness of vitamin B-6. Spinach greens are also rich in quercetin, an antioxidant which is believed to cut down on inflammation and to boost immunity. If you don't like spinach, try adding a small amount to soups, casseroles, salads, etc.
